do what your mother told you

in your dreams now you go looking for her and she finds youasleep but entirely yourself:your dreams are your life, just as your waking selfis also your lifeeverything in the night-mind is entirely your own--no interruptions, no influence, no noise.this is your life. granite, rivers.

you go on looking and lookingmaybe hoping to find the beginning of timeor the endwondering where you placed your innocencewondering when you last knew yourself as a childseeking an infinity of love.
